It fits, but just not very well. The big issue I've had with it is
getting it to clear the defrost area on the canopy. To do this, the
shield has to be brought aft so far that you start to lose mounting
depth at the top of your radio stack, which was very valuable to me, and
just not acceptable. My solution was to rework the center console,
getting rid of the silly eyebrow looking thing for the throttle
quadrant, by lowering/shaving the console about 1.00". I then extended
the instrument panel 0.50" to gain some extra radio height, and to allow
the stack to flow better straight into the center console. The overall
result is a lowering of about 0.50", and seems to alleviate the problems
of the glare shield not fitting quite right. It will now fit and clear
the defrost area by about 0.25". There are probably some pics of this on my site; I think number 859 in
the 08_2002 directory is of the instrument panel extended, and probably
some more in the 09_2002 and 10_2002 directories of the console. I'd
take some of the assembly together, but I've already sent the panel to
Lancair. I might be able to get a pic of it from them.

I've recently seen a couple of references to the Legacy glare shield.
It appears it simply does not fit -- not even close. <<
